PSA: League of legends is a GAME

**WARNING! **Wall of text ahead:

This is not life or death. Dropping 20 LP will not result in spontaneously combustion. Losing a game wont have your champion jump out of the screen and shoot you in the face. So please, don't be toxic in your games. This goes for all game modes but especially normals. A game is something people do to try and have fun, so please, if someone is having a bad game don't go and tell them to drink bleach and die. Losing a game isn't a death sentence for either you, or the person who lost you the game, so cut them some slack. They had a bad game. They KNOW they had a bad game. No one needs you going around telling someone how much they suck, or that there boosted and should go back to bots for having a bad game. Counter picks happen, misplays happen, and most importantly, ganks happen. Just because someone had a bad KDA doesn't mean they deserve a 4 way flame fest from people who are supposed to be your allies.

This also applies to ranked. I know, ranked is the competitive mode, but that doesn't mean that you have to be a Faker level 100% perfect player who always goes 30/0. No one is perfect. NO ONE IS PERFECT! Just because someone has a bad game doesn't mean that you should go tell the guy he's boosted, to go back to B5, kill himself, and then tell everyone to report him since you don't know what Intentional means. I get it, people hate losing, especially in ranked. However, even if you have always won your lane, and only ever lose games because of other people (because we all know **that ** person is out there), think about how bad you feel when you lose a ranked game. Now think about how bad you would feel if you were the reason that you the reason you were losing. Even if you run into that person who goes into ranked and say things like "First time " the DAY of his release and go 1v5 while only ever pressing his W expecting something will happen, don't flip out. Yes these people are annoying, but even in those cases, just remember one thing.

TROLLS TROLL YOU FOR YOUR REACTION!

People who are like that do it BECAUSE they enjoy hearing you flip out. For some reason they enjoy ruining your day and causing you to melt down worse than Chernobyl. Just don't give them the satisfaction. If they don't get anyone to flip out it will become less and less fun for them to troll, and eventually if everyone stops flaming trolls they will reduce in numbers. (Hopefully) However, if you flame them out, not only are you doing exactly what you want, you are encouraging them to keep trolling because its working. Just let them be, have them become worth less than that minion wave the enemy team missed for killing him, and report him after. Just hearing you flame encourages the troll, and also tilts you so your more likely to explode on other, not trolling team mates.

Just do your team a favor, take a step back, and calm down before you talk to someone on your team whose doing bad.
